Effect of the mixture of bone marrow mesenchymal stromal cells and annulus fibrosus cells in repairing the degenerative discs of rabbits
Authors: Y.H. Wang, B. Yang, W.L. Li and J.M. Li
The aims of this study were to investigate the effect of a mixture of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) and annulus fibrosus cells (AFCs) in repairing the degenerative discs of rabbits, and to provide an experimental basis for its clinical application. BMSCs from rabbits were cultured in vitro and mixed with AFCs. The animal model of degenerative.. Read More»

Fermentation of Foc TR4-infected bananas and Trichoderma spp
Authors: J. Yang, B. Li, S.W. Liu M.K. Biswas, S. Liu, Y.R. Wei, C.W. Zuo, G.M. Deng, R.B. Kuang, C.H. Hu, G.J. Yi and C.Y. Li
Fusarium wilt (also known as Panama disease) is one of the most destructive banana diseases, and greatly hampers the global production of bananas. Consequently, it has been very detrimental to the Chinese banana industry. An infected plant is one of the major causes of the spread of Fusarium wilt to nearby regions. It is essen.. Read More»

Genome-wide identification and analysis of the SGR gene family in Cucumis melo L.
Authors: R.G. Bade, M.L. Bao, W.Y. Jin, Y. Ma, Y.D. Niu and A. Hasi
Chlorophyll (CHL) is present in many plant organs, and its metabolism is strongly regulated throughout plant development. Understanding the fate of CHL in senescent leaves or during fruit ripening is a complex process. The stay-green (SGR) protein has been shown to affect CHL degradation. In this study, we used the conserved s.. Read More»

Quantitative trait loci mapping of the stigma exertion rate and spikelet number per panicle in rice (Oryza sativa L.)
Authors: M.H. Rahman, P. Yu , Y.X. Zhang, L.P. Sun, W.X. Wu, X.H. Shen,X.D. Zhan, D.B. Chen, L.Y. Cao and S.H. Cheng
The stigma exertion rate is a polygenic inherited trait that is important for increased seed yield in hybrid rice breeding. To identify quantitative trait loci (QTL) associated with high stigma exertion rate, we conducted QTL mapping using 134 recombinant inbred lines derived from XieqingzaoB and Zhonghui9308, which have high ..

Screening and characterization of novel microsatellite loci in Lateolabrax japonicus
Authors: B.B. Li, Z.B. Li, J.B. Shangguan, Y.F. Ning, Y. Yuan, Y.S. Huang and X.Q. Mao
Lateolabrax japonicus, an economically important species, is widely consumed in the offshore coasts of China, Korea, and Japan. We identified 10 new L. japonicus microsatellite markers, using a modified protocol of fast isolation by AFLP of sequences containing repeats. Thirty L. japonicus individuals were collected from Xiame.. Read More»

A contact map matching approach to protein structure similarity analysis
Authors: Raquel C. de Melo, Carlos Eduardo R. Lopes, Fernando A. Fernandes Jr., Carlos Henrique da Silveira, Marcelo M. Santoro, Rodrigo L. Carceroni, Wagner Meira Jr.and Arnaldo de A. Ara�ºjo
We modeled the problem of identifying how close two proteins are structurally by measuring the dissimilarity of their contact maps. These contact maps are colored images, in which the chromatic information encodes the chemical nature of the contacts. We studied two conceptually distinct image-processing algorithms to measure t..

Comparative analyses of the structure of the 1,3-�²-glucan synthase gene in Paracoccidioides brasiliensis isolates
Authors: H.T.S. Okamoto, C.M.A. Soares and M. Pereira
The evolutionary origin and significance of spliceosomal introns have been the subject of many investigations. Two theories, “introns- early” theory and “introns-late” theory, have been proposed to explain the evolution of introns in eukaryotic genes. Intron position is generally conserved in paralogue ..

Association between interleukin-17A polymorphism and coronary artery disease susceptibility in the Chinese Han population
Authors: G.B. Su, X.L. Guo, X.C. Liu, Q.T. Cui and C.Y. Zhou
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a major global health problem. In China, the incidence of CAD and the rate of mortality arising from it have increased every year. Interleukin-17A (IL-17A) is a proinflammatory cytokine produced by activated T cells, and it may be involved in the development of CAD. Genetic polymorphisms in functional regions of the IL17A ..

Molecular analysis of an idic(Y)(qter� p11.32::p11.32�qter) chromosome from a female patient with a complex karyotype
Authors: R. Fernandez and E. Pasaro
A female patient with a structurally abnormal idic(Y) (p11.32) chromosome was studied using fluorescence in situ hybridization and PCR to define the precise position of the breakpoint. The patient had a complex mosaic karyotype with eight cell lines and at least two morphologically distinct derivatives from the Y chromosome. T.. Read More»

miR-129b suppresses cell proliferation in the human lung cancer cell lines A549 and H1299
Authors: L. Zheng, Y.X. Qi, S. Liu, M.L. Shi and W.P. Yang
Lung cancer is one of the most prevalent malignant tumors, and is one of the primary causes of cancer-associated deaths. In 2002, an estimated 1.18 million lung cancer-associated deaths were recorded, accounting for 18% of cancer-related deaths and 2% of total mortality. Despite the great progress that has been made in lung ca.. Read More»
